Project Overview

Collect soil, water, and sediment samples to assess the Environemnt Canada Site for the presence/absence of impacts due to historical activities to the local environment.

Summary of Modifications:

The proposed Phase II/III ESA sampling and camp crew were not able to make it to the site in the summer of 2017 due to poor weather conditions. Therefore we plan on conducting the program in the summer of 2018 and 2019, if required.
The plan is to have upto a total of 9 field personnel on site for 2-two week periods (two weeks in 2018 and two weeks in 2019) to complete the original proposed plan. In addition a small crew of two or three persons are propsoed to mobilize our small camp in April 2018 to minimize the mobilization time in the summer months when the weather is more volatile.
